Support reading in old logfiles

Currently reading starts at the end of any given logfile - it should be possible to read in old data as well.

"file" input of "logstash" shall be the ideal implementation for this feature (Tracking of current position in watched files, File rotation...): https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html

How would one handle file rotation if the new log file has the same name as the old log file?
